what version of Microsoft Word?

sorry i have 2003

Never heard of that. HMMM.
Don't know how to get around that, except you can probably find the code online if you search. Smoeone did that for me once for a code for Windows 98.
You can also download a program for free called open office which is compatiable with Windows, Word Perfect and some other products as well.
Here's a link http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html
I used this all the time when I was in school. I had Word Perfect at home and Word at school. You just have to make sure to save as a word.doc, and it will work perfectly.

was your computer fairly new? if so you'll get office for a limited amount of time. after that you must purchase and activate. If you ever do decide to purchase a copy of office, check with your school to see if they offer discounts to their students. some schools will help out a LOT! Because i'm a CIT student (Computer Information Technology) I get in on the microsoft accademic aliance thing Oakland has. basicly that means a lot of FREE microsoft programs. unfortinuetly word isn't included in that but you may want to see if your school has something similar that you might qualify for.

After I replied I remembered that new computers come with a limited time period for Office. I agree, check with your school. I beleive that there even may be a student edition which is cheaper.
But consider that Open Office, atleast it is free for now.

Open Office is a great app. i fully recommend it

Open office is nice, but considering he is studying Word, it's not good enough. A lot of the specific commands are just different enough to probably be a problem.

Good point. I was under the impression that he just needed a word proccessing program to do homework. You are right, if he is studying Word he would definitely need Word. Where I went to school our Word book came with the program that had everything we needed to do all of the exercises. I am not sure if I still have that though, I sold some of my books already.
